The Chestnut Hill Shoppes is a relatively small mall located in Newton, Massachusetts. The main…read moreanchor store is Bloomingdale's, which occupies two separate wings on opposite sides of the mall. One wing houses the home goods and men's departments, while the other features women's clothing and fragrances. In addition to Bloomingdale's, the Chestnut Hill Shoppes is home to a Cheesecake Factory restaurant as well as several other stores, including Tiffany & Co., Janie and Jack, and Crate and Barrel.

Natick Mall has really changed since when I was a child. It still at heart is a mall, but now it…read morehas lots to offer. I think the most prevalent thing I've noticed is how there are a lot of entertainment options now. Dave and Busters was the first to open, followed by Level 99. Now there's also a Puttshack and a Bosee Pickleball club. I think this adds a layer because it turns into "just a mall" to a social gathering spot where you could shop, eat, or have fun. There's something for all ages with this. Now when it comes to the shopping, there's still your average clothing stores, there's beauty and jewelry stores like Sephora and Pandora, and also a Macys if you want a department store. There's also a wing with more high-level luxury stores, like a Zara, Louis Vitton, Tiffany, and David Yurman. I think this area is nice if you want luxury but not to travel into Boston. There's a lot of empty stores in this wing too so hopefully they get filled soon. Food options are good too, they have a food court, Cheesecake Factory, P.f. chang's., California Kitchen pizza, and the food inside of the entertainment places too. Overall this mall has been renovated a lot, and I think for the better. It encompasses a lot and you don't have to come here just to shop, but you can if you'd like. I will say though they have plenty of parking which includes free garages, people are still unkind around the holidays and you might be circling around for a while before you find a spot. Parking is always hard here no matter what and I know people who avoid this mall because of it, which is sad but I get it. I heard if you come on a weekday morning it's better.

The website describes this small shopping plaza as transit-oriented and I can understand that as it…read moreis well served by road (the Mass Pike goes right by) and rail (Auburndale commuter rail is nearby). Commonwealth Ave also has excellent bus service. The shopping center is anchored by a large format Star Market but also has one full bank branch, one smaller ATM-only bank branch, a bagel shop, a cleaner and a hair salon. There's plenty of parking. When I was here, the lot was well maintained with no litter visible. There is one entrance and one exit for Commonwealth Ave. It does not have a turn lane for those crossing traffic.

Having moved from the area between Packard's Corner and Coolidge Corner, I was afraid that we would…read morereally feel that we are out in the 'burbs when moving to Newton. The Newton Highlands area is adorable. The little strip of shops and restaurants gives us a little place to walk around on the weekend. We have learned the hits and misses and are enjoying the process of learning our favorite places to dine and shop. While I still miss the late hours of the places on Comm and Brighton Ave, I'm adjusting to sprinting down the street to get sushi before is closes... at 9pm. The train station is directly on Walnut Street, making going to and from this area of Newton very accessible. The highlands abuts Needham and Needham Street so it might get over looked in comparison to the many shops on Needham St but give the Highland's a try.

One of the BEST Shopping Centers in Natick…read more Definitely one of the largest single shopping plazas in Natick. Definitely has everything you could need (besides a full grocery store), and has a good parking lot. Easy access to Route 9 Eastbound and Speen Street. 9 West is a bit tougher, and usually more traffic, yet still not difficult. This plaza has a tons of stores and restaurants. There's a Christmas Tree Shop, Dick's Sporting Goods, Five Below, Petco, Carter's, Dress Barn, Children's Place, Minerva Indian Cuisine. Gentle Dental, Smashburger, Sally Beauty, DXL Men's Warehouse, Starbucks, ULTA Beauty, Town Fair Tire, Seasonal Store, Pet World, and many other small retailers. It's located on Route 9 Eastbound, opposite the Natick Mall. Close to Framingham, Boston, and other surrounding areas. Exit 20B off Rt. 128.

Nordstroms Rack, TJ Maxx ( for the minimum), Marshalls, Bobs, Starbucks,…read more Around the corner- Target, Walmart, some other great stores that I can't remember....etc! I love this place & you will too! Pinky swear.

Shopper's World offers you lots of great shops including some off price retailers…read more The parking lot here is always crazy... during Christmas time coming here can be more than a mission! It is located in a great location on Route 9 and offers 6 restaurants ranging from sit down to grab and go and also a Starbucks. Michaels, the Paper Store and B&N all in the same plaza is a win for me!

This place has so much potential, but really isn't used correctly…read more Between the large vacancy in the former Building #19, the puddles and the really odd setup of the parking lot, and the lack of upkeep throughout the entire area makes this the least desirable shopping center throughout all of the large plazas and malls in Natick. Sure, most of the stores and restaurants throughout this center are good, but having a better selection of places to go would draw people in.... nothing is "special". Five Guys has a location in Framingham (five minutes away or less), as does Panera, UPS Store, Staples and Stop&Shop. Hopefully the proposal for an Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza, Chipotle, and a few other stores to go into an extension onto this plaza goes through. This plaza needs every inkling of upgrading it can get.... with the Golden Triangle (the largest shopping zone throughout New England) right down the road with the Natick Mall, Cloverleaf, Sherwood and the others, this place may only stay in business for so much longer. My biggest pet peeve and suggestion for others here is, be careful. The potholes and huge puddles near the Route 27 exit are ridiculous and feel like you're going through an earthquake. Plus, the parking lot isn't designed well, confusing, and has very odd entrances and exits. Definitely not the best shopping center in the area. I would say it's fine for a few quick things (and it is....) but if you're looking for GOOD places to go to, everything here is located in another spot within five minutes. 3 stars for the 9/27 Shopping Center in Natick.

I think that this place makes very good food and I love the cookies! Thanks so much Panera staff!read more

Knocked My Socks OFF!!!…read more I had never been the biggest fan of the E.A. Davis store, but I stopped in upon hearing that they had renovated. I walked into a modern store that is probably very good for they youngsters but also caught my attention as a senior citizen. The employees were very nice and accommodating, and the one dashing feller in the men's section could sell time to a clock(coming from someone who has been a granite salesman for 40+ years). He had me try on a nice Barbar vest that I ended up taking home. GREAT STORE!
